Pune: Getting Around

Much of Pune is like a labyrinth, and the easiest way to get around is by riding pillion on a two-wheeler. But if you do not have a friend to take you around, hire a taxi for the day. Meru (020-44224422); Ola Cabs (020-33553355) and Uber are reliable options. Alternatively, hop into one of the auto-rickshaws, which now charge by the (electronic) meter. But do keep Google Maps handy; some drivers have a knack for taking the longest route possible. Parts of the city centre are bicycle friendly, but always wear a helmet and watch out for bikers zipping in and out of lanes.
